Srinagar, Feb 15: Jammu and Kashmir’s Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha Tuesday said that Delimitation Commission was constituted under a law passed in the parliament and those having reservations with its proposals should lodge the same in written form.
“Election Commission is an independent authority and Delimitation Commission is working under it. If somebody has any reservations with the panel’s proposals, they should send it to the Commission in written form. If a common citizen too has any reservations, the same should be sent to the Commission so that a healthy public debate takes place,” Sinha told reporters on the side-lines of a function at Bajalta, Jammu.
The National Conference has out rightly rejected the delimitation panel’s proposal stating that its recommendations were not entertained by the commission and the fresh proposal of the panel was totally against the basic parameters. PDP too had rejected the proposal on the pretext that it was aimed at appeasing one particular party that was BJP while all the parameters were thrown to the wind.
Meanwhile, the LG also stated that the role of security forces across the country especially in J&K over the past 70 years have been commendable. “The way our security forces are meeting all challenges deserves all applause,” he said.
